A new chapter was added to proc.rst. Adjust the markups to avoid this warning: Documentation/filesystems/proc.rst:2194: WARNING: Inconsistent literal block quoting. And to properly mark the code-blocks there.

It means that there was only one procfs instance in the system. When pid namespace was added, a separate procfs instance was mounted in each pid namespace. So, procfs mount options are global among all -mountpoints within the same namespace. +mountpoints within the same namespace:: -:: + # grep ^proc /proc/mounts + proc /proc proc rw,relatime,hidepid=2 0 0 -# grep ^proc /proc/mounts -proc /proc proc rw,relatime,hidepid=2 0 0 + # strace -e mount mount -o hidepid=1 -t proc proc /tmp/proc + mount("proc", "/tmp/proc", "proc", 0, "hidepid=1") = 0 + +++ exited with 0 +++ -# strace -e mount mount -o hidepid=1 -t proc proc /tmp/proc -mount("proc", "/tmp/proc", "proc", 0, "hidepid=1") = 0 -+++ exited with 0 +++ - -# grep ^proc /proc/mounts -proc /proc proc rw,relatime,hidepid=2 0 0 -proc /tmp/proc proc rw,relatime,hidepid=2 0 0 + # grep ^proc /proc/mounts + proc /proc proc rw,relatime,hidepid=2 0 0 + proc /tmp/proc proc rw,relatime,hidepid=2 0 0 and only after remounting procfs mount options will change at all -mountpoints. +mountpoints:: -# mount -o remount,hidepid=1 -t proc proc /tmp/proc + # mount -o remount,hidepid=1 -t proc proc /tmp/proc -# grep ^proc /proc/mounts -proc /proc proc rw,relatime,hidepid=1 0 0 -proc /tmp/proc proc rw,relatime,hidepid=1 0 0 + # grep ^proc /proc/mounts + proc /proc proc rw,relatime,hidepid=1 0 0 + proc /tmp/proc proc rw,relatime,hidepid=1 0 0 This behavior is different from the behavior of other filesystems. The new procfs behavior is more like other filesystems. Each procfs mount creates a new procfs instance. Mount options affect own procfs instance. It means that it became possible to have several procfs instances -displaying tasks with different filtering options in one pid namespace. +displaying tasks with different filtering options in one pid namespace:: -# mount -o hidepid=invisible -t proc proc /proc -# mount -o hidepid=noaccess -t proc proc /tmp/proc -# grep ^proc /proc/mounts -proc /proc proc rw,relatime,hidepid=invisible 0 0 -proc /tmp/proc proc rw,relatime,hidepid=noaccess 0 0 + # mount -o hidepid=invisible -t proc proc /proc + # mount -o hidepid=noaccess -t proc proc /tmp/proc + # grep ^proc /proc/mounts + proc /proc proc rw,relatime,hidepid=invisible 0 0 + proc /tmp/proc proc rw,relatime,hidepid=noaccess 0 0 -- 2.26.2
